Amiga disks on PC: ADF-Drive supports Amiga filesystems
ADF-Copy is an USB adapter which, connected to a ordinary PC disk drive, can read and write Amiga disks - provided that the disks are not copy-protected. The floppy port is connected to a Teensy 3.2 micro controller by using some jumpers controlled by the firmware of the micro controller.

Trademark disputes: yet another party wants to own "Amiga" (Update)
In the US and Germany, the registration for the "Amiga" trademark already expired. It's still a registered mark in the EU until May next year, but nobody really expects the current owner to ever do something with that registration again. As a result, Hyperion Entertainment (AmigaOS 4) and Cloanto (Amiga Forever) started fighting for various Amiga marks earlier this year.

Workbench history: Why was "Disk doctor" so spectacularly bad at its job?
In an article at auf amiga.org, Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel has explained, why "DiskDoctor" - known from the first generation of the Workbench - worked so bad and could not successfully repair disks. Since the middle of the 90ies Barthel has been working with the source codes of AmigaOS and was involved developing AmigaOS 3.5, 3.9 4.0 and 4.1.

In May it turned out that the current version of Artur Jarosik's SDL-based port of Netsurf could only be used with a graphics board. Daniel Reimann, an editor of amiga-news.de, has contacted Jarosik to find out how the development status is regarding a version supporting AGA - and received a current, AGA-compatible version of the browser.

Emulation of Sam 460 using QEMU in development
According to a mail on the QEMU-PPC mailing list Zoltan Balaton is working on an emulation of a Sam-460 using QEMU. In the first status report (middle of August) he described that AROS as well as MorphOS could boot, but finally failed due to different problems. Balaton could not test AmigaOS, because he does not own a copy of AmigaOS 4.1 besitzt.
The emulator QEMU emulates or virtualizes alot of computers or processors. If the host system has a suitable processor, QEMU does not have to emulate it - so Balaton's project could succeed in emulating Sam 460 operating systems under different PPC hardware - e.g. Apple-Hardware .
On a common Windows-PC, QEMU would have to emulate the PPC-CPU, but would not have to emulate the complex custom chip emulation, which is currently required to run AmigaOS 4 "Classic" under WinUAE.
